Story transcript

Amy: We keep saying we’re a team. Maybe tonight we say why.

Sonic: Is this the part where somebody makes us cry?

Tails: I used to hide these tails whenever anyone stared.

Tails: Then Sonic asked if they could fly.

Sonic: I challenged you. You did the rest.

Sonic: I was always running.

Sonic: Then I realized the people behind me still needed help.

Amy: I thought being brave meant getting someone’s attention.

Amy: Turns out it means choosing my own direction.

Knuckles: The Master Emerald was my whole world.

Knuckles: It never talked back.

Luka: I was an orphan.

Luka: They bullied me because I was too weak to fight back. These scars are what they left behind.

Luka: I learned to fight first.

Luka: Then I built something that could fight beside me.

Luka: Every gadget since has had the same purpose: never be helpless again.

Amy: You don’t have to explain the scars.

Luka: I’m not hiding them. I’m deciding what they mean.

Luka: For the record, I saved everyone’s story.

Tails: You recorded us?

Luka: Team analysis.

Knuckles: Delete the file labeled “Team Emotional Weaknesses”!

Luka: That file is empty.

Luka: I saved it as “Knuckles Cried During a Soap Commercial.”
